Triple Citrus Sangria

I had a completely different post all planned for today. But then, I changed my mind.

Because I felt the need to think warm thoughts. To dream about being on the beach with the hot sun streaming down on me. To pretend ... if only for just a few minutes ... that summer's almost here. And what better way to feed my delusion than with a bright and refreshing, ice-cold glass of a perfect-for-summer-sipping drink?

So because of my need to indulge in delusion on this amazingly bitter cold day, I'm sharing this Triple Citrus Sangria recipe. And pretending I'm drinking a big ol' glass at the warm and sunny beach.

Red wine and brandy combine with fresh lemon, lime, and orange to deliver up this refreshing and delicious Triple Citrus Sangria.

You see, just like the majority of the US at this moment, North Carolina is in the grip of a freezing cold Arctic blast. Our low temperature today was 4 degrees. Four degrees. With a forecast of dipping below zero during the night. That just doesn't happen here.

And man, let me tell you, we're sure not used to it.

Now having grown up in Vermont, I've seen more than my fair share of single-digit and below-zero temperatures. But after being in the South for 20 years? My body has definitely forgotten how to deal with them.

So along with staying inside bundled up in fourteen layers of clothes and turning up the heat on my electric blanket, I'm turning to delusional thinking to stay warm.

And my delusions include three kinds of citrus ...

... all sliced up and soaked in a beautiful pitcher of Triple Citrus Sangria.

This sangria is made with a mixture of red wine, brandy, grenadine, and three kinds of citrus ... lemon, lime, and orange. And believe me, it sure makes for one absolutely delicious and refreshing sangria.

So if you're like me and gripped in the sub-freezing temperatures of this Arctic blast, join me in dreaming of drinking a big glass of Triple Citrus Sangria on the warm, sunny beach.

Oh, what a wonderful delusion it is.

Thank you for stopping by The Kitchen is My Playground. We'd love to have you back soon!

Combine sugar, brandy, and orange liqueur in a pitcher; stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Stir in all remaining ingredients. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serve in glasses filled with ice. Garnish with additional lemon and lime slices, if desired.

Note ~ If storing leftovers in the refrigerator, I recommend removing the citrus slices to a separate container as their flavors {especially the lemon} can become too strong in the sangria. When serving, add citrus slices back to each glass.

Oh my!! This sangria recipe is perfect!! I'm pinning it for my summer festivities! Most sangria recipes use a ton of ingredients, and while this one uses enough it's all stuff I have in my pantry!! Can't wait to try it! If you're interested come link up with us today for our Thursty Thursday party!! hopelesslyeverafter.blogspot.com

I found this recipe while searching for a red sangria recipe I used to make. This sounds similar, but can you make it with some fruits in addition to the citrus. Have you ever added apple to this? I know it's an old post, but hoping I reach you:)

Love the idea of a red wine sangria! This looks delicious, Tracey. Sharing on the Hearth and Soul Facebook page on Friday this week. Thank you so much for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party!
